Speaking as an unprofessional, doing some individual ERP and learning to accept uncertainty seems helpful while you're building up the courage to tell your parents

I don't know your family dynamic or the effect is has on you. I do know that I could have asked this same question when I was younger. So with the benefit of a number of years of experience with this condition I will say that ultimately, regardless of when you tell them, you are in charge of your treatment. So, keep doing what you need to do for your own happiness and when the time is right to bring them in, you'll know. You hold the power; you are in control. You may even gain additional insight along the way that will help you explain it to them more effectively when the time comes. Ultimately, you are the one who will get you through this. You're loved ones and this community will be here for you when you need encouragement. All is well.

I need tips on how to really accept the uncertainty the ocd causes, even if it feels so bad like I might get in trouble for something , do I wanna be okay with that?

Recently my ocd keeps asking me if I love my boyfriend enough and that if I don’t love him enough I should breakup with him. It’s really bothering me and idk what to do about it. Sitting in the uncertainty is too much and I fear sitting with it too long I’m just gonna crack and give in to a compulsion.

I’m thinking about doing erp but my ocd is so severe the thought of accepting my fears happening to me makes me sick to my stomach. I also believe in the power of my words and saying I accept this Bad thing will attract it into my life. I’m not sure what I should do🥲
